Category: lenovo s920

A few months ago, the Lenovo S920 arrived in Philippine shores for a price below the 20k mark. It offered a huge 5.3-inch IPS HD display, a quad-core CPU, 1GB RAM & more in a body measuring at only 7.9mm. A unit just passed through our office recently, so read on to see our first impressions.

At first glance, the Lenovo S920 did remind us a lot of the HTC One X. There’s the 5.3-inch display with thin bezels on the sides, capacitive buttons right at the bottom and the brand logo above the display. The rest of the body is covered in white, and while it is made out of plastic, it feels a lot sturdier than other phones.

The camera on the back is reminiscent of the HTC One X too as the lens is surrounded by a chrome-colored ring. It packs an 8-megapixel camera by the way, and while we’re yet to test it thoroughly, we managed to take a few shots and glad to say, it’s far from disappointing.

• Antutu – 13,507
• Quadrant – 4,990
• Nenamark 2 – 45.1

Lenovo’s skin on top of Android 4.2 still looks very cartoonish, but you can easily remedy that with a launcher. The CPU bundled with the 1GB RAM inside enabled the S920 to breeze through basic navigation & tasks.

Lenovo S920 specifications:
5.3-inch capacitive IPS HD display (1280×720 pixels), 277ppi
OGS Technology
Mediatek MTK6589 1.2 GHz quad-core processor
1GB RAM
4GB internal storage
up to 32GB via microSD
3G/HSPA+
WiFi 802.11 b/g/n
Bluetooth 2.1
8MP rear-facing camera, 2MP front-facing camera
Wireless FM radio
GPS with A-GPS
Li-Ion 2250mAh battery
Android 4.2 Jellybean
153.9 x 77.7 x 7.9 mm (dimensions)
152.2 grams (weight)

I wish we had a little more time to spend with the Lenovo S920. In our short experience with it, we were very pleased with what it can offer.

Right now, it’s priced at around Php16,999 which may be quite hard to justify for some, but if you’re looking for something jam-packed in a thin yet solid form factor, you may want to consider the S920.
